my 99 1100 stx starts but will not shut off. it runs without no lanyard nand with switch in off. does anyone know what is wrong

start by opening up the on/off switch assembly at the handlebards and inspect it. this happened to my old x2 i had and the reason for it not shutting off was the switch was damaged inside. when the switch/box assembly is not properly clamped on the bars correctly it will do this = if the two halves of the switch assembly are not seated correctly and/or they are damaged it will do this.

you must take it apart and let us know what u see inside. it is very simple and this is a start. keep me posted. if its not that, we'll move on to the next possible issue.

there is an on/off switch on ebay for cheap right now. a new one OEM costs $250 i think. they're pretty pricey.
